Recent Experience:

(May 2014 – Present) - Project Controls Engineer for designing Electrical Control Equipment for various mobile equipment, including paving and rail vehicles. Project involvement includes schematic and wiring harness drawing creation and control, Bill of Materials generation, and PLC Control responsibility.

(January 2012 – December 2013) - Project Electrical Engineer for commissioning a Particle Board Plant in Minnesota. Involvement in the project included installation management, equipment re-commissioning, PLC Programming and checkout.

(June 2011 – November 2011) - Project Engineer for commissioning a Plywood Plant in Siberia. Involvement in the project included onsite design, installation management, PLC Programming and equipment installation and checkout.

(August 2008 – June 2009) - Project Electrical Engineer for commissioning an OSB Plant in Louisiana. Involvement in the project included onsite design, installation management, and equipment installation and checkout.

(June 2006 – June 2007) - Project Electrical Engineer for commissioning a Particle Board Plant in Alberta. Involvement in the project included onsite design, installation management, and PLC equipment commissioning.

(Feb 2005 – June 2005) - Project Electrical Engineer for commissioning automated control equipment for a chicken farm in Taiwan. Responsibilities included material specification, crew management, and general electrical installation.

(Apr 2004 – Jan 2005) - Electrical Engineer for design and automation of gas pipeline equipment in Colorado and Wyoming. Responsibilities included software design and checkout, as well as installation and commissioning,

(Apr 2001 – Nov 2002) - Project Electrical Engineer for the modernization of a Particle Board Plant in Louisiana. Involvement in the project started as the vendor contracts were being finalized and continued through the production of the as-built drawings. My participation in the project included the coordination of vendor electrical designs with plant electrical designs and electrical contractors.

(Jan 2000 – Nov 2000) - Project Electrical Engineer for the expansion and upgrade of a Particle Board Plant in Quebec. Involvement in the project started mid-stream, with the electrical crews approximately two months behind schedule. At the end of my involvement, the electrical crews were consistently waiting for mechanical installation. Responsibilities covered the spectrum of electrical coordination from the ordering and receiving of equipment through task scheduling to document control, as well as being the "catch all" PLC programmer.

(Dec 1998 – Nov 1999) - Project Manager for the conversion of a Fish Packaging Plant to an Ice Production and Packaging facility. Responsibilities included scheduling of installation crews of several disciplines, and coordination of start-up efforts for five vendors.

(Dec 1996 – Sept 1998) - Principal Electrical Engineer for the production and installation of a system to produce laminated panels. Responsibilities started with the coordination of the system electrical design, and concluded with the commissioning of the equipment. Commissioning for this project primarily involved the programming of PLC and Servo-Control equipment.

(Aug 1994 – June 1996) - Project Electrical Engineer for the construction of an OSB facility in Alberta, Canada. Involvement with this project started with supplying the initial electrical power estimates for the purpose of requesting permits, and concluded with the delivery of "As Built" drawings. Responsibilities included the coordination of the design engineering group (ranging from three to fifteen engineers and drafts-people) as well as the on-site erection

services.

(1992 – 1994) - Product Engineer for the research and development efforts involved in bringing a hand-held gas detector to market. My primary activities were the development of the embedded software, and then testing and establishing calibration procedures for the device.

(1989 – 1991) - Control Systems Manager for two AGV (Automatically Guided Vehicle) projects. Responsibilities for these projects involved anything from developing the floor concrete specifications to developing, implementing and testing the dispatching and routing software for the vehicles.
